Offline 28th June: Robin Ince, Kings Cross Hot Club, Blazing Zoos and more!

[beeboo]

Is it your bunkhouse weekend?

Been, bunkhoused and come back (had a top weekend!)

This time it's a 'corporate team building weekend'

The booze is free though!

 

[Guineveretoo]

Oh crumbs - you will need a night out to set you up for a "corporate team building weekend". Are they going to make you build bridges across a stream and all that crap.

Come to Offline and tell me all about it

Arse, I've fucked my knee up at Glasto and now really can't walk so have to bail for the sake of the continued use of my knee.

Quite gutted as it looked a great night, though its all falling apart right now.

Trying to string it al back together again.....

 

[editor]

Ooo-er. My head!

That was fun. Thanks to the urban crew for coming down and giving it large on the dance floor and cheers to the DJs for their sterling work.

 

[dirtyfruit]

WOOHOO

Most pissed I've been for a while!!

Thank Ed for putting it together. Peeps missed a good un

 

[William of Walworth]

Really glad I came, the Kings Cross Hot Club were EXCELLENT musicians, and Robin Ince was a fuckin scream -- friendly bloke after the show too

Turn out not brilliant sadly, but I suppose Glastonbury bears some responsibility bloody wusses

Still recovering from Glasto aurora?

Actually, I really had hoped to come to this but, my little boy developed a bad cough and just wouldn't settle, so I didn't feel I could leave him.

Glad it went well though.

 

[Crispy]

Nice night Small crowd though Bunch of stay-at-home wimps the lot of ya!

Ah well, sorry to miss you, it was great

Hope he's better/recovering now ...

 

[aurora green]

I was hoping to catch up on all the Glastonbury gossip, and would have liked a good dance.
Ah well, next time.

He seems fine now btw, typically, although he did get me up at 6am.

 

[gaijingirl]

Well that was small but perfectly formed!! Robin Ince did well .... it must be hard with a smaller crowd but he warmed the place right up!!

 

[Orang Utan]

Blimey, didn't see either gg or Crispy there, even though it was a small crowd. Ince was great and I had a lot of fun. Sat on the sofa chatting after the comedy and before I knew it, it was 2.00am and time to go home! I owe you a pint LD!

 

[DJWrongspeed]

Great bill, weirdly small turn out, i guess people don't know it's free from the outside

Rob Ince was hilarious, he's a kind of comedic David Aaronovitch perhaps ? loved his dig at the christian far-right.

 

[clandestino]

Robin was funny - and an excellent impressionist. His John Peel was uncanny...!

I came in for the last song of Blazing Zoos, but they sounded good too. Nice to see some proper country hoofing about on the dancefloor to them!

 

[beeboo]

Pah, didn't finish my packing til 1am (I wasn't given it 100% effort)

Hope everyone enjoyed themselves

 

[DJWrongspeed]

wasn't it, his savaging of other DJs was excellent.

 

[Guineveretoo]

Wish I could have made it, but probably wise that I stayed away on this occasion, since I really wasn't well, and getting pissed in a smoky pub is not generally accepted as a cureall

Glad it went well, though.

 

[ovaltina]

And the Morrissey impression - class

 

[tastebud]

well that was jolly good fun. just goes to show that a night is what you make it a small but tremendously lively crowd. great night but unfortunately (or rather yayyayyayyayyay) subz and i did not make it into work today.

The total lack of promotion from the club - or indeed taking care of things as basic as chuffing pub sign with 'open' on it - certainly doesn't help with audience figures.

But I had a great time and all the acts enjoyed playing the club too. Thanks again to the Urban crew for making them so welcome.

Robin Ince was great too and a lovely bloke. He stayed over at ours last night and now he's on his way to do a show with Ricky Gervais in Oxford.

 

[Crispy]

I reckon:

A1 clip frame from Woolies: £9
Stout pole from a skip: £0
Three nails: £0.001
Roll of gaffa tape: £2

Instant 'Stuff on here, tonight, free' sign: Priceless.

Can I just say again that you lot were fantastic last night: give yourselves a pat on the back!

The Blazing Zoos loved the crowd response and have asked for a gig back already!

[SubZeroCat]

Indeed and what fun we had

I really enjoyed the Blazing Zoos and Kings X Hot Club were really good too. I enjoyed it all! Thanks ed

yay for skiving off work

 

[littlebabyjesus]

Bands were great.

Shame we had to miss a lot of Robin Ince to get the last tube. He'd come so far just to entertain us.

 

[Choc]

[clandestino]

And the Morrissey impression - class

I know! He made me heckle...
